G. Reynolds,
The Early Paintings and Drawings of John Constable, Yale 1996, p. 38, no. 01.40, reproduced pl. 149.
Charles Rhynesuggests that this painting may be a study from nature showing the influence of Jacob van Ruisdael, whose work Constable was studying in about1800-01.1During this period, Constable was working in Derbyshire and Staffordshire as well as Suffolkand living primarily with his sister Martha's parents-in-law, the Whalleys, at Fenton in Staffordshire. This painting and a few other works that survive from this early period in Constable's careershow the emergence of a confident and naturalistic approach to landscape painting, which was to culminate in his first Royal Academy exhibit in the following year.
